Ye Manzhi’s Self-Perception: The Flower of the Military Industrial Compound, the Pillar of Family Harmony.
That is, until she saw a line of text on her third sister-in-law’s forehead—
“When is this troublemaker finally marrying into Director Zhou’s family? My fists are itching!”
Ye Manzhi rubbed her eyes: ???
Upon realizing that she was living in a book—and worse, that she was the lazy, greedy, troublemaking sister-in-law of the novel’s heroine—the once self-proclaimed obedient and sensible Ye Manzhi was utterly horrified.
After eating two pieces of Changbai cake to calm herself down, she followed her third sister-in-law’s “spoilers,” dumped her scumbag fiancé, and, along with him, lost the job she was about to secure.
She had officially become an unemployed young woman!
To prevent herself from inadvertently causing more family chaos, Ye Manzhi decided to find a job as soon as possible.
At the same time, her father overheard a bit of factory gossip—the organization was planning to introduce a match for Wu Zhengrong!
As the resident military representative of Factory 656, Wu Zhengrong had a bright future and a striking appearance—he was a perfect match for his delicate and charming daughter!
Now, the only thing standing between them and marriage was… actually meeting.
Relying on his daughter’s beauty and his own shameless persistence, Workshop Leader Ye secured a blind date opportunity for her.
To increase the chances of bringing home a son-in-law, he even splurged on two tickets for a performance by the Soviet Youth Art Troupe.
However, after the date, Ye Manzhi returned with two pieces of news.
The bad news: The future son-in-law was gone.
The good news: She happened to resolve a dispute at the theater, and thanks to her enthusiasm for helping others (or, more accurately, meddling in affairs), as well as her talent for community work, she managed to get a job recommendation at the neighborhood office from Commander Wu!
Family: “……”
Mini Theater
In the military compound, Ye Manzhi was passionately rallying the residents:
“Revolutionary comrades! The central government has called for a grand campaign to eliminate the Four Pests! Upholding our principle of serving the people, our neighborhood office will be purchasing rat poison in bulk! Safe and effective, quick results, affordable prices—wipe out entire nests in one go!”
Wu Zhengrong, just getting off work: “……”
This was the young, beautiful, gentle, and demure daughter Workshop Leader Ye had been bragging about?
